Module 3: Planning and Response
2
Objective
Upon the successful completion of this module, participants will be able to develop strategies for preplanning at biodiesel facilities and develop strategies for controlling / fighting fires and spills associated with biodiesel fuels.
3
Introduction
Plant / Facility personnel must be brought into planning sessions
Strong relationship with key players critical for safe & competent response to facility
Meet early & often about:– Department’s role– Facility’s expectations / capabilities
Introduction
Small facilities may present greater hazard:– Not likely to follow safety design as
large, commercial biodiesel facilities– Difficult to preplan
4
Preplanning for the Facility
Vital factor in strategy of controlling emergency situation
Purpose Effective preplans:
– Less time spent making decisions concerning incident site during & after size-up process
5
Preplanning for the Facility
Steps in preplanning process:– Information
gathering– Information analysis– Information
distribution

Safety Design Built Into Facilities
Facility typically engineered & designed following nationally recognized codes & standards along with insurance carrier requirements:– Even if jurisdiction has not adopted
codes / standards
11
Safety Design Built Into Facilities
Sprinkler system Standpipe system Hydrant system Water supply system Backup generators for power failure
12
Safety Design Built Into Facilities
Alarm system Containment systems Container relief devices Emergency showers Foam suppression systems
13
Preplan Items
Site maps & drawings Hazardous materials list & MSDS Tier II reports Risk Management Plans (RMP) Emergency contact numbers
14
Preplan Items
Any special training by employees in emergency response
Any previous incidents Fire suppression systems Water supply system
15
Sample Preplan Forms
Many ways to design preplans forms Important aspects are that they
include all necessary information to improve emergency response at given facility

Activity 3.1 — Preplanning
Purpose:– To allow participants to practice
preplanning for a biodiesel incident.
22
Responding to Facility Incidents
All members should be trained to at least NFPA 472 first responder operations level
Following Analyze-Plan-Implement-Evaluate (APIE) process to form a risk-based response will lead to safe & competent response
23
Responding to Facility Incidents
Corrosives:– Chemical & thermal hazards
Flammables:– Can burn freely & disseminate heat– Thermal damage
24
Activity 4.2 — Response
Purpose:– To allow participants to practice making
decisions during a biodiesel incident.
25
Summary
No substitute for preplanning potential incident
Less likely to fully preplan for home-brew incidents:– Become familiar with local & state fire
codes pertaining to use & storage of flammable & corrosive materials
